Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It doesn't say on the outside packaging, but apparently this thermometer only goes down to 14 degrees F/-10C. The highest it goes is 122F/50C.
If it goes bellow 37F/3C it will flash continuously and show you an ice symbol for... some reason.
In short: this really isn't a winter-friendly thermometer.
Also, it's a bit difficult to open and to set the clock, because you have to hold the batteries in while you set it and make sure they don't shift while you screw the back on again.
I know it's meant to mount on the window, but it would be nice to have a choice to mount it further out where inside temperatures could not influence it. It has no hooks or tabs or anything to do that with.
On the upside, the numbers are very large and clear, and I can see them clearly from my couch, which is about 15 feet from the device.
As long as it doesn't get bellow 14F (which it's scheduled to do soon, which is kind of why I got the thermometer...) I think this is probably going to work out okay. It seems like a sturdy little device.
I will update this review if I have any more problems with it.
EDIT: Well, there is one big problem with this thing. You CAN NOT put it in a place that gets direct sunlight if you want an accurate reading. I've been comparing it to the Weatherbug website, and when it's in the shade, it matches Weatherbug. When it's in the sun though, it shows a significantly higher temperature, even if the air itself is quite cold.
At least it seems to be durable, although I kind of hope it breaks soon.
